Check the patient “Covid centaur”

Personally I have long felt the feeling that we will never get out of the sanitary delirium based on the fear of Covid-19. A delusion that forces us to travel, unique in Europe, with the Ffp2 masks until September 30, with the inevitable consequence, given the proximity to the cold season, of having to postpone the obligation for a long time.

But it is not enough, despite the evident attenuation in the pathogenicity of Sars-Cov-2, that some scientists not aligned with sanitary dogma they had largely foreseen through the phenomenon of co-adaptation, now we must also deal with the so-called centaur patient. That is, a person hospitalized for a whole series of reasons that have nothing to do with Covid-19, but which are positive for the swab. A phenomenon that had been repeatedly reported by those who work on the front line in Italian hospitals and which, with a now endemic virus, risks creating more chaos in addition to that determined by having neglected many other serious pathologies, concentrating all efforts towards a virus which, more often than not, has seriously affected very elderly people and affected by other serious previous diseases.

In this sense, the words of Giovanni Migliore, president of the Italian Federation of hospitals, whose network of sentinel hospitals would have “found” this “new” patient centaur, do not seem reassuring. In fact, Migliore says: “This wave of Covid is very different from the first ones: thanks to vaccines we are not imprisoned at home and – finally – people go out, work and have a social life. But this also means that they return to have traumas or accidents or that they fall ill as they did a year ago, due to the reduced circulation of people, it didn’t happen anymore. This also requires different answers from us: if it is true that thanks to vaccines we have halved hospitalizations and intensive care units, it is also true that the variety of Covid patients who go to hospital forces us to make a greater organizational effort. Today ‘classic’ Covid patients arrive at the hospital, that is, with pulmonary pathology, non-Covid patients who must be followed and protected in ‘Covid free’ paths and positive patients but without pulmonary pathology, with other concomitant diseases – the “centaurs”, for the precisely – to which a separate organization must be reserved “. According to Fiaso itself, the latter represent 34% of the total number of Sars-Cov-2 positive subjects.

Now, anyone who has had to deal with our health system in normal times will realize that with the introduction of the Covid wards things have already become somewhat complicated for those who suffer from multiple other serious diseases. So much so that already in the spring of 2020 the Italian society of cardiology reported un 30% increase in mortality linked to cardiovascular problems.

However, if the idea of ​​a further division were to pass, isolating in specific sectors all those who have come into contact with an unstoppable virus, the health response of our territorial structures would be further burdened, to the detriment of general health.

On the other hand, if we take this line for many others respiratory virusincluding the flu, which are no less dangerous to people with compromised health than the coronavirus, our much vaunted public health would quickly collapse. Also because, again on the subject of viral circulation, with the percentage of positivity found in recent days, which is close to 20% of the swabs performed, without however affecting the fundamental data of hospitalizations, sooner or later it will be necessary to realize that every measure to isolate us from this unwanted guest, who is just one of many, is doomed to fail.
